Question F

[Jonetta]

Regan and Autumn’s fathers knew they were relentlessly bullying Lindsay but did nothing to stop their behavior, nor did they punish them in any way following her death. Is this typical behavior for parents of bullies or were these two men different?

I'd be horrified if any of my kids or grandkids were bullying others. I'd hope we had brought them up better than that. But I'm sure there are parents who are brought into that situation and have no idea what there kids are doing at school. I wouldn't like to judge the situation. Other to say sometimes kids may act out what is happening at home.

Part of me always wonder what bullyers see growing up or what do they get away with at home that makes them lean towards doing this. Did Regan and Autumn see/hear their parents bullying someone else - so they repeat the pattern.

Just their parents behaviour make me think that's what they have observed in their own homes. Not very good role models at all.

No, I agree - they were terrible.
